Instruction manual
1
If you salt the soup, do not dilute it with water in an attempt to save. This can ruin the taste of the dish. Take a small piece of refined sugar, put in an ordinary spoon and lower it into the broth. As soon as a piece of sugar begins to melt, remove a spoon from the broth and replace a piece of refined sugar. This procedure can be repeated several times until the taste is corrected. The porous structure of refined sugar makes it an excellent absorbent that easily absorbs salt from the broth.
2
Instead of refined, you can use crackers or coarsely chopped raw potatoes. You just need to put these products in the soup and continue to cook it. Rusks need to be taken out after a few minutes (and if necessary, put new ones), and the potatoes can be left in a boiling broth for 10-15 minutes, but do not let it boil, because pulling overcooked potatoes that has fallen into pieces is not an easy and pleasant task. Special fabric bags can be used to avoid this.
3
By the way, salted soup can be saved with rice in a cloth bag. It is enough to lower it into the broth and keep there until the dishes are ready, rice remarkably draws salt from the liquid.
4
If you do not have the products listed, but have honey or lemon, you can add them to the broth to reduce the degree of salinity. However, with very heavily salted broths, this trick may not work.
5
Meat spill can be corrected with fresh flour sauces, mashed potatoes or sour cream. Salt is mainly distributed over the outer layers of muscle tissue, so unsalted homogeneous supplements can draw in a fairly significant amount of salt. Salted minced meat for cutlets can be saved by adding a little boiled unsalted rice or grated vegetables.
6
It is a little more difficult to save fish than meat, because salt penetrates all layers of fillet or carcass. However, in this situation, fresh sauces will help level out the salting. If you salted thawed or fresh fish before you cook it, just rinse it with cold water. Salted boiled fish can be poured with fresh boiling water and allowed to stand for about 5 minutes.
7
Salt can be drawn from stews and other stews with ordinary fresh tomatoes. Finely chop them, then add to the dish and simmer for several minutes.
8
If vegetables are over-salted during cooking, the situation can be corrected by pouring them with fresh boiling water and boiling for several minutes. But the salted raw vegetables from which you were going to make a salad can only be "diluted" with other ingredients.
